New print bed
We received our new print bed from eBay/China. Not a Lokbuild but at least its cheaper. First thing I noticed is that this sheet is thicker than a Lokbuild, 0.6mm thick instead of 0.5. When I followed the steps on calibrating I clicked 6 8 times to ensure proper spacing instead of the original 4.
Robox Instructions:
-
Launch AutoMaker software and navigate to Calibration button
-
Follow instructions until asked to insert paper between nozzles and build plate
-
Follow instructions and raise nozzles to point at which paper moves freely between nozzles and build plate
-
Set height
468 clicks higher than this point (i.e. 0.4 mm) -
Proceed as normal
Automated water system?
A friend at work asked if I could help solve his issues with his water intake from the well. At first I was like um why? Living in the city I did not know anything about how country side water systems worked. Water pumped from a well has a chance that it may contain too much sulfur making the water smell. He wanted to pull rain water into a tank and use it as primary with the well water as a failsafe.
I am thinking about using a basic ESP8266 along with a couple of water pressure sensors and relays triggering the water pumps he already has. The code should be very simple to write and I already have most of the hardware here minus the sensor.
